Re: Document Library location

I am not following you very well. Are you talking about mapping a windows
drive letter on my workstation that points to a sharepoint document library?

I am looking for a way to make a document library mirror a file server.
Have a user that is on the sharepoint site see the same files that are on the
file server.
How would I create a DL that points to my fileserver?

Hi Drew,

You can map a document library to a network drive, its as simple as putting
in the URL of the DL when you create a mapping from Windows.
You could then get your backup software to get the files from here.
This is a good low budget backup of Sharepoint and should work....
We are looking at Veritas for our enterprise backup solution as it
apparently has document level restore in the latest version.

Thanks for the info.
I did like the file server option in previous versions of sharepoint. Too
bad that is not a configurable option.

You cannot have it store stuff in the file system.

Backups and restores are definitely a pain point with WSS. I'm not sure
what you've looked at so far, but you have three options that are free, or
at least included with WSS.

1) Smigrate (or FrontPage, which is a frontend for Smigrate)
2) STSADM
3) SQL database backups.

I won't explain each one, but you should have enough now to do some
searching and see the pluses and negatives of each method.

Good luck.

Are documents in Sharepoint now stored inside SQL or MSDE?
Can I move this to a space on our fileserver for backup and ease of
access?

Thanks
